After the speeches the citizens passed
through the rotunda in files of three. The
column not all being admitted, several
hundred being left waiting. At half.past
one o. clock the President and wife and i'm
mediate party called upon Mrs. Hendricks,
where an elegant lunch was provided very
unexpectedly, which somewhat delayed
the further march. 1t was half-past two
before the procession again started, going
north on Meridian street to ex-senator Nc
Donald's home, where Mrs Mcdonald had
prepared lunch, and invited party
of sixty to sit down with the
distinguished guests. Alter brlei
call here, the line of march was taken up
for the Union depot, where they arrived
shortly after half-past three, and as soon
as possible started for Terre Haute. The
weather continued fretful ali through the
day, but there was no actual rain.
The train left indianapolis half an hour
late, but the time was made up before 1t
reached Terre Haute. The President and
Mrs. Cleveland expressed themselves as
delighted with the warmth and cOrdiality
OF their reception, aud with the general
appearance of the town, its inhabitants,
and its public building. A single acci-
dent only msrred the pleasure OF the
visit. On the way to the depot the horse
ridden by a member Of the Governors
staff Immediately in front of the Presi-
dents carriage became alarmed, reared,
threw its rider and fell upon him. The
man was assisted to his feet, and borne
away. The time for leaving was already
ND, and the visitors were driven to the
depot without learning the name Of the
injured gentleman. The stop at Indian
apOlis
PROVED A RELIEF
to the fatigue and mOnOtOny, which
are inevitable to q three hours
ride. The speech making was COM
mendably brief, it having already got
abroad that this is not missionary expe-
dition, but simply one OF exploration and
discovery.
The parting episode at Indianapolis was a
stentorian invitation audible above the
cheers of the multitude, "To come again,
Grover" to which the President raised his
hat and simply bowed his thanks.
Among the mementOes OF the visit
brought away by the distinguished guests
is a Waterbury watch, which was present,

Capitol, engraved, "TO Grover Cleveland,

Two or three thousand persons were as
sembled at the station ut Green Castle,
Ind, and paid their respects vOcferously
rs the train ran past at a slow rate. A
long train load OF returning Grand Army
men stood upon siding, the passengers in
which crowded it's platforms and windows
and waived and shouted their salutes.
At Terre Haute station, crowd of sew
eral thousand persons thrOnged the track
and platforms and made the disembark-
ment of the party difficult. The President
was received by Senator VOOrhes, eN'Sec-
retary Thomson, and committee, aud
with his companions, was driven to the
Normal school building, in front OF which
stand had been erected for the tormali-
tics of the reception. The popu-
lace seemed on fire with enthusiasm.
Thousands OF national flags were flying
from the windows along the way and
many buildings were deliberately deco
rated with bunting. 1t was dark before
the procession reached its stand and the
time for the departure Of the train WAS
already past. The great square contained,
a. nearly as could he estimated, 10000
persons, who greeted the party cnthusi-
astlCa!ly.
